Andra minister gets root canal done in Singapore for Rs 2.88 lakh
Hyderabad, August 24: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu wants to make the state a medical hub where foreigners would come for treatment, but at the same time, his own minister is going abroad to get an expensive treatment done.
Mocking austerity, Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu flew to Singapore to get root canal treatment done at the cost of Rs 2.88 lakh.The shocking part is that Ramakrishnudu got the bill reimbursed from the state government. The minister reported having got the root canal treatment done at Azure Dental, 22th Sixth Avenue, Singapore, on April 12 this year.
The amount was reimbursed by Dr NTR Vaidya Seva Trust, the Andhra Pradesh’s health wing, on August 23.General Administration Department (GAD) secretary Srikanth Nagulapalli issued a Government Order No 1844 releasing the medical claim of Rs 2,88,823. Interestingly, Andhra Pradesh, of late, raised Rs 2,000 crore through bonds at 10.38 per cent interest and had also offered an e-brick option for citizens to sponsor a brick for building the capital.Read the order by the Government of Andhra Pradesh:
Also, the state has been asking the Centre to release funds as vowed in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act after the bifurcation of the state. At a time, when the state is requesting for funds, why is it bearing the cost for medical bills of the minister’s toothache problem?
Flaying the government, people on the social media are wondering if a root canal treatment is not available in Amravati or the entire Andhra Pradesh.

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
